My teacher watched the vid =)

She said that i'm playing with expression and nice phrasing. I should "add more vibrato and don't lift the fingers: 3rd is playing, and 1st and 2nd are sticking up, like Baba Yaga's* fingers. Looks horrible!" (Hahaha!); That music is beautiful and, most important, i play it pleasantly; (can't say it about myself, maybe teachers are less picky, LOL!) Also she said that she rests assured now that i can successfully work by myself =)
Actually, i'm impressed how tolerant teachers are to the bad intonation, she didn't even mention it, LOL!

 

*Baba Yaga (granny Yaga) - is a character in Russian folklore. Old witch that lives in the woods in a cabin that has chicken's legs =). Yaga has cannibalistic appetits =) She is very skinny, usually has a hump and long scary fingers =)

Hi Naska! I enjoyed the video.  You played it well.  Thanks for the video.

A beginner like me (still a beginner..!!!) should have his/her fingers close to the finger board.  You are into the intermediate stage and with regular practice (which is eluding you) by this time next year you may be in an advanced stage.  Good luck.t2036.gif

Glad to hear it. She is right.
As for tolerating intonation. EVERYONE plays out of tune. The question is how much. :-)

That was wonderful.  I especially liked the part around 1:37.  You have a great technique, and I might not have ever seen straighter bow strokes.

I wish I could get my K550 to sound so nice...

Never mind maneuvers, just go straight at them.

I won't post the video here but have you ever heard Jackie Evancho sing this?  I was just thinking that listening to her sing and watching her perform might be exceptionally inspiring for a violin performance.
